Shirley belonged here, while Cole did not. As soon as she heard the notification sound, she grabbed her phone to check. After seeing the message about his mtransfer request, she felt an immediate sense of urgency. She dialed his number directly.
Cole, who was holding his phone and suppressing his inner reluctance, heard the phone ring. He looked at the call from Shirley and ultimately hung up.
She kept calling him repeatedly, but he didn’t answer her calls. She was truly anxious as she felt like her budding relationship with him was about to end.
Zacharias descended from the second floor and did not see her. He looked at Tony, who was still watching a movie, and asked, “Where is she?”
Tony pointed in the direction outside the door and said, “She’s been outside for a while, and she’s not afraid of the cold.”
Zacharias furrowed his brows and quickly walked to the door. At that moment, she was turning to open the door, and they collided. The sudden hug took him aback. However, she took a step back, and he noticed tears on her face. He was surprised. “What happened?”
“Could you lend me a car? I need to go somewhere urgently.” Shirley requested.
“Where to?” Zacharias gazed at her intently.
“To find someone,” she replied and looked at the Ferrari outside. She said to Tony, “Mr. Tony, can you lend me your car for a while?”
“Where to? I’ll go with you,” Tony said enthusiastically. “Don’t lend it to her,”
Zacharias ordered his nephew. He feared that she might get into trouble as her emotions seemed unstable.
Shirley wiped her eyes, and as her emotions surged again, she began to cry.
“Mr. Tony, please take me to a place. Thank you,” she implored.
Tony was stuck between Zacharias’ stern expression and Shirley’s plea. “All right. I’ll take you,” he said bravely and grabbed the car keys. “Let’s go!”
Zacharias reminded him, “Drive safely.”
